Abstract A new Mg 98.3 Y 1.3 Ni 0.4 alloy containing long period stacking ordered (LPSO)
phases with good strength-ductility synergy was prepared by high temperature …

Zn content is one of the most concerned factors in the development of next generation ultra-
strength Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys owing to its essential role in precipitation strengthening. In the …

Precipitation strengthening is one of the most promising methods to develop magnesium
(Mg) alloys. However, the nerve-wracking fact is that the cast Mg alloys always have coarse …

The metastable α'phase and dislocation characteristics (eg, density and constituents) are of
vital importance for the mechanical responses of (α+ β) titanium alloys. In this work, to reveal …

Al-VB master alloy is promising for refining Al-Si alloys, yet its optimal composition with
superior efficacy remains to be explored. In this work, the evolution of refining phases in the …

In this study, surface mechanical attrition treatment was employed to sucessfully produce a
